Naah, Amiga Inc has their own show, which is even better than E3 and Mac World combined!

Oh dear...not that again...Bill McEwen:
Quote:

we also have another announcement with our other partner that I mentioned in the 20 questions and this is a high-end desktop product. There will be a prototype and more information available at the AmiWest show in sacremento california on the 23rd.

Erm...
(1)It was 25 questions and answers, not 20
(2)There, of course, was no prototype at the AmiWest show
(3)The show was, of course, not on the 23rd.

Not bad for an AI announcement really. Only 3 errors in the space of a sentence and 1/2. If you argue that showing a prototype and merely providing "info" are 2 different things, then make that 4 errors.

Sorry, but how many times do I have to repeat that communications is dreadful?

Bill McEwen canceled at the last minute due to a personal family issue which Carl Sassenrath confirmed with Mr. McEwen on the phone at the show while some of us stood there and witnessed.

Whether each of us believes this to be true or not is a personal decision but it does not change the facts as they are known today as to why that prototype, etc. did not happen last year.

I gather this can only mean that Bill had intended to bring the prototype?

Well, at least a high end prototype WAS there, eh?

From your show Amiwest 2006 show report:
Quote:

After some time a few of us continued discussions in the AMUC/Troika/Hyperion hotel room. Warren worked on the Panda board while I made sure my MicroA1 was still alive. We all took a quick look at AmigaOS 4.0 on the MicroA1 while it was up and running. After some assembly concerns, Warren and I concluded it was not safe to power up the Panda in such an environment. I decided to scrap the idea of showing it running Linux at the show. I'd much rather have a working board for testing when I get home now that I am a part of the Troika testing team. Besides, it was only Linux and not OS4. Carl really did like the look of that Panda board with all those I/O options and I think he would even have purchased one right then and there if he could. Sadly, I had to explain the current state of things as best I could. This would become a common problem with the Panda board at the show the next day--people genuinely wanted to buy it but couldn't.

AmiWest 2006 Trip Report

Fascinating that he said:
Quote:

I will say that Troika is not one of them

when asked about companies/boards, yet Troika shows a high end prototype at Amiwest 2006. Strangely in the YEAR following we get NO explanation where HIS own prototype is/was. I don't see how something that either did or did not happen to prevent his appearance answers why there was no followup for a year on this.

I seriously thought about attending, but with no hardware, no official vendors, I decided to say to heck with it, and instead I'm going to Salt Lake City that weekend to see Meat Katie and Rabbit in the Moon.

The point I was trying to make was that as far as we know the Amiga Inc. prototype was not at the show because Bill McEwen had a family emergency to attend to. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Reading between the lines I believe that means 'I'm too lazy to show up."

Hey!! That's not true!!

Like I said, I had the money in hand and had planned to go, but with no hardware or OS to buy, no one from hyperion attending, no one from Amiga attending, no one from the SAM team attending, I figured it would be kind of.. well...

boring.

@amikit

No offense, I meant no one involved in OS4 hardware or the OS itself, sorry.

I'll be going as I do every year just to support the show. I fully understand why you & others don't feel the urge to attend this year, enjoy your trip to Salt Lake City & the show.
